<blockquote>
<p>Regarding Polonius, my understanding is we are going to try fork off the Polonius work separately. Basically, I want to tie a bow on the current NLL system and move on to a different project, but certainly others are working on Polonius and I believe @nikomatsakis intends to either steer that ship themself or find someone else to pilot it in. Its our current best hope for getting NLL to its idealized state.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So, who is working on Polonius so that I might follow the exciting progress?</p>

<p>we talked at an earlier meeting there would maybe be another WG for it, with a lot of current WG-NLL members being interested in joining</p>

<p>yeah it still is, in other news Niko has published an article or three recently about it in case you missed them. Some of which has been implemented (there's a PR at least)</p>
